Tailored Internal Audit Services to Enhance Compliance and Mitigate Risk

BARR’s Internal Audit Services

Our experienced consultants work with your unique business needs to develop or enhance your internal audit function by testing those controls,
identifying shortcomings in your internal controls,  and providing actionable next steps. Our tailored internal audit services are designed to provide clarity, assurance, and strategic insights, empowering your organization to mitigate risks and enhance operations effectively. We help you identify your issues before an external auditor, customer, or other stakeholders do. We perform audits against frameworks including
SOC 2, NIST, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, CIS Top 18, and more.

How It Works

We follow our proven process to ensure you have the smoothest internal audit experience possible. 

We’ll clarify the specific services you need and align them with our available service levels. We’ll work with you to establish a timeline, recommending a start date with plenty of time before your engagement to ensure thorough preparation and avoid audit fatigue.

We’ll create a comprehensive audit plan, including controls, procedures, and document requests. This plan is shared with you for feedback. Our team will provide detailed agendas for walkthrough meetings to keep everything organized. We’ll use your preferred GRC platform or document-sharing tool for seamless collaboration.

We determine the number and length of meetings based on your needs and service level:

  • Level 1: Self-Assessment questionnaire
  • Level 2: Recommendations plus self-assessment
  • Level 3: Full internal audit with observations and recommendations

We share walkthrough meeting agendas at least 24 hours in advance so you can prepare effectively.

Our team will complete all testing procedures, and results are documented based on your service level. We will notify you of gaps or exceptions as we identify them so you can begin remediating them before we even issue a formal report. We’ll then finalize your internal audit report, ensuring it’s comprehensive and aligns with your expectations. We’ll send you your report with a five-day window for feedback, refine the report, and deliver a completed report to you in PDF format. 

We schedule a meeting to discuss the outcomes, address questions, and gather your feedback. We’ll also celebrate a successfully completed engagement and work with you to define any future steps to improve your security and compliance posture.
